Lunch today included lots of pretty colors.
I topped a big bowl of spring mix with celery, carrots, two MorningStar Farms spicy black bean burgers and pomegranate dressing. I absolutely love using black bean burgers as a salad topper. They add so much flavor and the punch of protein helps fill me up!
The dressing I used on my salad was Marzetti’s simply dressed pomegranate vinaigrette that I bought on sale at Publix on Sunday.
I love this stuff and always stock up whenever I see a deal!
If you scrunched your nose up at the thought of black bean burgers and pomegranate salad dressing, I don’t blame you. It sounds like a totally bizarre combination, but oddly enough, it worked. I was craving black bean burgers but wanted a little sweetness in my salad, so I decided to combine the two and was pleasantly surprised.

Hi Julie,
I totally LOVE the Morningstar veggie burgers. Since I became very sick almost 6 years ago, I had to alter my already healthy diet/lifestyle…which meant no more meat or foods that have been fed, grown, or treated with antibiotics, pesticides, or other chemicals that could negatively impact my body and/or immune system. These burgers are a great source of protein and have a kick-butt taste that isn’t always easy to find. I love eating them just as a plain old burger…but I also love, love, love coming up with my own creative recipes that usually (more often than not) turn out extremely tasty. Just like you, I love incorporating them in salads, as well as, making stuffed peppers, an egg and veggie burger concoction, chili, lasagna, and the list goes on and on with many delish ideas and recipes.
I would really love to win this awesome giveaway…and if not, I am hopeful that whoever wins it, enjoys it as much as I would. Furthermore, I really like reading your blog daily…it is so uplifting, comical, and you have many great recipe, workout, fashion, relationship, and positive lifestyle activities…your personality reminds me a lot of myself – especially the quirky side! 🙂
Keep doing what you love, and thanks for this awesome opportunity!
